Episode 1220
A situation occurred where residents submitted ‘blank papers’ to vote for defectors.
Hieromir and the upper echelons of the City decided to hunt down those who submitted blank ballots label them as ‘traitors’ and put them on the execution platform.
Of course they said it was a search but there was no proper verification. In most cases innocent people were taken away and in the process all kinds of false reports were spread in order to survive.
The first ten people were about to be executed in the square of The City.
“Someone among these may be innocent.”
The searcher in charge of execution walked around holding a spear and said: All those dragged in were kneeling on the floor with their arms bound. Sobbing and crying could be heard from everywhere.
“Don’t blame us for that.”
Weeing!
whiz!
The ten searchers standing behind the prisoners simultaneously activated the spears in their hands. Purple flames flickered fiercely.
“The reason you die is because of the apostates. “If they hadn’t messed up The City this wouldn’t have happened.”
Cheok!
The searchers all aimed their spears at the prisoners’ necks. A short scream echoes from the spectators watching. Some even turned their heads as if they couldn’t bear to see them.
“Never forget until the moment you die and even after you die. “The person who killed you was a renegade who was immersed in hypocrisy and was making absurd claims about revolution.”
He moved his hand and all the seekers raised their spears high.
“And everyone watching take note. If the apostates are not rooted out it will be your turn next.”
The senior searcher lowered his arms and all the searchers hurled their spears at the prisoners.
“?!”
However it did not move forward as if the window was blocked by something. They whined and applied force to the spear but it did not budge. The senior Seeker shouted in frustration.
“What are you all doing?”
“Great captain! There’s something at the tip of the spear…! ah!”
Sigh!
All the spears flew high into the sky.
At the same time the other 10 searchers also lifted one leg and soared into the air. Their ahhh! A scream echoed far away.
[Oh my gosh there are people who have the ability to spout nonsense.]
Again and again.
With a clatter of shoes a pink-haired woman in a purple dress appeared waving her fan. The senior seeker stood guard activating the spear in her hand.
“Who are you?”
[I don’t like toys like that.]
As she opened and swung her fan the spear in her hand flew into the air.
The senior searcher looked shocked and tried to take a step back but his legs were caught in the web and he ended up hanging in the air.
Waaaaaa!
The audience cheered enthusiastically at the sight of breaking up the execution ceremony.
Erzsebet smiled seductively and waved to the audience and the spiders came over and cut the ropes that bound the prisoners with the sharp ends of their legs.
At that time the senior searcher struggled and shouted.
“We are carrying out Hieromir’s orders! “Do you think you’ll be safe after this?”
[The girl has received orders from the great corps commander.]
Hergé Bett spread her fan to cover her mouth and narrowed her eyes.
[Hieromir? Where do you dare put such nonsense?]
“sleep…!”
Cough!
She kicked her senior Seeker’s ass and sent him flying away.
The audience laughed uproariously as if they felt refreshed.
“wow! “Have you already killed them all?”
Flap!
Next Davina and members of the revolutionary army came down from the roof of the building with a rope and arrived in front of the execution platform. They had also just arrived after defeating the searchers coming from behind.
Cheok!
chuck!
Soon the green flag of the Revolutionary Army and the black flag of the 7th Legion were fluttering cross-legged on the execution platform. Davina took care of her prisoners and sent a letter of thanks to Erzhebet.
“Your skills are as good as Simon said.”
[Oh hoho! This is basic.]
Erzhebet stepped behind her and Davina came to the front of the scaffold and opened her mouth.
“I am Davina commander of the Revolutionary Army! I regret to inform you of this but Hieromir’s oppression will become even more severe than now! If you tell us where the execution ceremony is held we will do our best to prevent it! And we will notify you in advance of the battleship’s bombardment point so if you evacuate as quickly as possible…!”
“Put it away!”
A male spectator standing in the front row screamed.
Davina stopped speaking and immediately the surroundings fell silent.
“Why are you talking in front of me about how good I am! There was nothing wrong with what the searcher said earlier! If it weren’t for you guys we wouldn’t have been bombed like this! “People weren’t taken away and executed!”
“Did you even expect praise for resolving what happened because of you?”
Woooooo!
Immediately a vicious atmosphere of shouts and boos poured out.
Immediately cries of support for the revolutionary army and Davina rang out from the audience on the other side.
“Face who is in command! “It is Hieromir who orders us to be killed!”
“They are trying to help us! “I know how you feel but just calm down a little…!”
Cries pour in from spectators with different opinions.
People with red necks fought and protested fiercely. Rocks thrown by angry spectators begin to fly.
One of them hit Davina on the forehead. Her blood ran down her forehead.
[Are you okay?]
A startled Erzébet approached but Davina raised her arms as if she was okay.
“I guess I can’t be a great person like a revolutionary.”
After muttering that she immediately received a mortar from a member of the revolutionary army and fired it into the sky. When the sound of intense gunfire was heard the audience was startled and fell to their seats or lowered their bodies.
Finally the surroundings became quiet. Bang the mortar! She raised her voice as she dropped it with a sound.
“good! Then there you go! “I’ll just ask you one thing!”
The man who had initially criticized her Davina flinched and stared at her.
“I want nothing more than peace. “If you want I can give up my life for you.”
“Then turn yourself in right away…!”
“But put your hand on her chest and answer me. “If I am executed will Hieromir stop doing these things?”
For an instant a terrible silence descended on the audience.
The question Davina suddenly asked made people think about what had happened to them without even realizing it.
Even empty words could not say that with Davina’s death Hieromir would end her oppression. Because they actually knew that being a traitor was an excuse to begin with.
“If I die I will kill more people to deal with the remnants of the traitors! It won’t stop even if all the remnants die. Even if there are no traitors they will continue to kill! So there’s only one thing we can do!”
Cheok!
Davina stretches her arms and lifts her upper body.
She pointed to the tallest tower in The City.
“We must drive out Hieromir!”
The eyes of the entire audience turned to The City’s tallest tower as if they were mesmerized.
Hieromir.
It was like that. In fact the cause was clear.
They simply said that it was impossible and that there was nothing they could do and chose the shorter and easier path such as reporting the easy-going person next to them as a traitor or trapping them.
“That’s stupid!”
The man spoke in a trembling voice.
“There is no one in this world who can kill Hieromir! “Everyone knows right?”
“What if I’m from another world?”
Her audience roared at Davina’s words.
“Hieromir has been kidnapping people from other worlds and using them as his labor. But now the time is coming to pay the price.”
She clapped her hands.
“If we don’t seize this opportunity we may never escape Hieromir’s oppression. “Now is your only chance.”
* * *
The execution ceremony was stopped and the revolutionary army rescued the residents.
From Hieromir’s perspective ‘voting for traitors’ and ‘execution ceremonies’ are the foundation of the system.
Hieromir who was even more enraged by the refusal sent a ship and began indiscriminately shelling the area where the executed prisoners were rescued.
Then the public sentiment turned even further.
Many people newly joined the revolutionary army and the revolutionary army was no longer a small force. They armed themselves to confront Hieromir’s army and responded actively and systematically.
“Catch it!”
“It’s over there!”
Searchers on flying boards flew in through the narrow alleys raising their spears.
Likewise a member of the revolutionary army on a board lured them into a narrow crevice in the city and the searchers chased after them without realizing it but were caught in the spider’s web and fell to the ground.
-Krrrrr!
-Kyaaruk!
Countless skeletons and zombies rushed to catch the fallen searchers. On the other side residents holding the green flag of the revolutionary army advanced with crude weapons and fought against the fallen searchers.
Because the legions were supporting us from all over we were able to properly respond to the searchers’ offensive.
“It’s Davina the commander!”
“Catch him!”
This time dozens of searchers were flocking in chasing Davina on the board. Davina lifted one of her undead to her chest resting it on her shoulder.
“Please! Lamia!”
-Beep!
Crumbling!
The young Lamia of the 7th Legion immediately sent down a thunderbolt of water her specialty from above her head wiping out dozens of seekers in one go.
The combination of Davina with good mobility and Lamia with powerful firepower was excellent.
“Well done Lamia! “It’s the best!”
-Bpiyuung!
썄썄죣죣죣!
However the searchers were not easy either. Searchers had taken a detour from behind the factory on the other side. They all raised mortars to arrest Davina.
“Be careful Davina.”
The man who saw it from the detection tower grabbed the handle of the sword. With that alone a sword strike flashed in the air and the searchers fell down spraying blood.
“Ugh!”
As his colleagues were attacked one of the searchers on the boat quickly turned around and ran away from the factory. Juul closed his eyes as he changed his grip on the handle of the magic sword.
“Because it’s behind the wall.”
Yep!
The huge factory split in half and the Seeker hiding behind it collapsed spraying blood. Jules calmly opened his eyes and muttered.
“Don’t think you can avoid it.”
Although Simon and Lethe were missing the revolutionary army led by the magic sword user Jool was actively engaging the seekers. From here to the legion. Now it was a fight worth fighting.
“Yes yes. okay.”
Davina received the communication and spoke to Jules.
“Jules! “5 minutes before the bombardment!”
“I understand. “Let’s run away.”
Juul Davina and his legion fled to another area evacuating people. After that the ship’s Coral bombardment poured down and devastated the surrounding area.
Davina breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s fortunate that Hieromir’s side also has someone with a clear mind.”
Bombing civilian areas was a highly conflicted matter even among Hieromir’s battleship pilots and one of them was relaying information to the revolutionary army.
In the central area the most intense battlefield searchers riding in armored vehicles were pushing down and Zombie Butler Mako and the troops of the Legion were blocking them.
The right front was commanded by Captain Camivarez and the left front was commanded by Juul and Davina as they are now.
Sometimes Hieromir himself came forward but he fought by boldly abandoning the front lines he arrived on.
“We will definitely win with the power of this army that Simon lent us.”
Davina said as she moved to the next front line. Jules nodded as she climbed on the board next to her.
“It’s good to be motivated but don’t forget that our goal is to bide our time while the ‘transfer team’ activates the transfer device.”
“of course.”
She looked around her as Jules wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“But I can’t see Arendia.”
“ah. “That guy.”
Davina laughed bitterly.
She said “Did you say you were going to take advantage of the confusion to rescue Sigmund? “If we bring that person in it will be a powerful force that will turn the tide of the war.”
“That’s reckless.”
She stared at the prison tower where Jules said criminals were imprisoned.
* * *
While the entire city was in chaos there was a woman who climbed the wall of the prison tower.
“Huh! omg!”
Aren Dia who had already climbed more than halfway up the wall gazed far below her. She then shook her head a couple of times as if to come to her senses then looked up at her stomach again and stretched out her hand.
I don’t know why I’m doing this for someone I don’t even remember.
“We will definitely meet. Sigmund!”
She was no longer a being driven by rationality.
She climbed straight up her tower looking as if she would do something big.
